Fang Eleven got a severe rebuke from her mentor.
"Not submitting your papers, do you even want your credits anymore? Do you even want to graduate?"
"Yes! I do!"
Of course she does!
She must graduate. She has never seen her future with Gu Liancheng as a permanent one, so she's laying out her path - a path where she can provide for herself and Jiujiu even without Gu Liancheng.
Ye Wanjun once jokingly told her that if she didn't join the entertainment industry, she'd be wasting the excellent genes her mom gave her.
"But I recently received an anonymous report that your personal lifestyle is problematic, is it true?"
"Who reported me?"
There's a problem with the way she lives?
Could it be Xu Weiyu? She was the only one who saw her getting into Gu Liancheng's car a few days ago and might have assumed she was being kept.
If that's what they were referring to, then she was indeed wrongly accused.
She can't tell her mentor that the man is her own husband and that they are legally married, can she?
"I cannot tell you who reported you but Fang Eleven, the university is investigating you. If these allegations are proven true and you have tarnished the university's reputation, you will at best face disciplinary action, at worst expulsion!"
...
Leaving the office, Eleven's headache had worsened and her brows furrowed.
What should she do? If she gets expelled, she will be ruined.
After thinking long and hard, she took out her phone and texted Gu Liancheng: Honey, can you make a trip to my school when you're free?
...
"So I hope that from now on, I won't see anyone using their phones during meetings—"
"Buzz—"
Just as a stern-faced Gu Liancheng finished reprimanding a senior executive at the long table, his own phone placed on the table conveniently rang.
The conference room was instantly silent.
Gu Liancheng: "..."
His face turned darker. Everyone thought that the one who texted him was doomed!
Gu Liancheng glanced at the screen casually and picked up his phone.
Everyone pretended not to notice and looked elsewhere whistling.
Gu Liancheng: What's up?
Eleven texted back almost instantly: I got scolded by my mentor...she asked me to bring my parents...
Gu Liancheng: ...got it.
...
Phew...
Eleven heaved a sigh of relief. Thank goodness Gu Liancheng agreed. Otherwise, where would she find any parents?
As several people walked past, they all started whispering upon seeing Eleven, making her utterly puzzled.
After a short while, Xu Weiyu appeared, joining her few good friends and ridiculing Eleven.
"Who do I think this is? Isn't it Miss Fang who has reached sky-high arrogance since climbing onto a high branch? Tsk tsk tsk...what's wrong? Shouldn't you be all spirited being kept by Mr. Gu? Why do you look so downtrodden now?"
At last, Eleven wasn't sure, but she had a strong suspicion that the one who reported her, other than Xu Weiyu, could be no one else.
"Xu Weiyu, bad deeds never go unpunished. But are you sure you can bear the consequences?"
Since she knew about her relationship with Gu Liancheng, she might as well persist until the end.
"Fang Eleven, are you threatening me?"
"Well, if you think it's a threat, then it is one." Eleven smiled.
"Fang Eleven, don't be so arrogant! Do you actually think you're that important in Mr. Gu's eyes? Women in Mr. Gu's life are easily replaceable, every single one of them fades away after a short while. There are plenty who are prettier and younger than you, it won't be long till you're cruelly let go!"
